Fujifilm X-T2 vs Fujifilm X-T4

The bottom line

Same line, different generation: the Fujifilm X-T4 (2020) moves ahead on 4K frame rate (60p vs 30p), in-body stabilisation and subject-detection AF. The Fujifilm X-T2 is still the value pick at $1,599 ($1,699 for the Fujifilm X-T4). If those newer features aren't ones you'll actually use, the Fujifilm X-T2 gives you most of the experience for less.

Choose the Fujifilm X-T2 if…

  • You value portability — at 507g (1.12 lb) it's noticeably lighter than the 607g (1.34 lb) alternative for travel and all-day carry.

Choose the Fujifilm X-T4 if…

  • You shoot video seriously — it brings smoother 60p 4K vs 30p, 10-bit internal colour and both mic and headphone jacks for monitored audio.
  • You photograph moving subjects — it adds AF subject detection for animals that the other body lacks.
  • You shoot handheld — in-body stabilisation lets you use slower shutter speeds and steadies video, which the other body can't do without a stabilised lens.
  • You vlog or shoot handheld solo — the fully-articulating screen flips to face you and there's a mic input for clean audio.

Where they differ

  • Video: the Fujifilm X-T4 is the stronger video tool — 4K up to 60p, 10-bit internal and Log.
  • Price: the Fujifilm X-T2 launched at $1,599, $100 under the Fujifilm X-T4 — money that could go toward glass.
  • Stabilisation: only the Fujifilm X-T4 has in-body IS — slower handheld shutter speeds and steadier video without relying on stabilised lenses.
  • Weight: the Fujifilm X-T2 is 507g (1.12 lb) vs 607g (1.34 lb) — 100g you'll feel on a long day out.
  • Burst: the Fujifilm X-T4 shoots 15fps to the Fujifilm X-T2's 14fps — the gap that decides whether you nail the peak moment in sports and wildlife.
